“Her personality puts anyone at ease, first off. But her compassion, expertise and precise advice and guidance were just what I needed to sharpen up all aspects of my life. She is truly a gifted coach”

“If any of you feel that you can stand getting more organized, effective and strategic (in your professional life, personal life or all of the above), an incredible life coach, Adrienne Fikes, has really helped me see things in a wholistic way and get my once scattered, creative life more balanced. She’s simply awesome.

Adrienne came into my life at a time when I was at a crossroads. I felt like I was progressing professionally a bit, but in other areas I felt unfulfilled and stagnant.

Her personality puts anyone at ease, first off. But her compassion, expertise and precise advice and guidance were just what I needed to sharpen up all aspects of my life. She is truly a gifted coach and to her and her wonderful business I render my highest recommendation.

I’m talking about those times when you are inspired to be your most Powerful Purposeful Self in any of your 12 Soul Power Life Areas Too often, we don’t get moving with any sense of urgency or we start down the road in the direction of our purpose when doubts and fears begin to creep up from behind.

We all have an instinct to protect and shield ourselves from hurt, harm, and danger. If we are not careful, we will use our Great Big But as a reason to stay in or return to our comfort zone.

Be honest, how often do you find yourself sidetracked by how your Great Big But looks? I want you to remember this – your but only looks big to show you where you are making lame excuses to yourself and others about why you are not living more consistently as your most Powerful Purposeful Self.

Yes, I know it sounds like a really great reason and I have to be honest with you –

It’s not a great reason it’s just your Great Big But.

Yes, I know you feel rational and think you are justified by the story you’re telling yourself.

The truth is, you’re just letting all that junk in your trunk slow down your progress.

Anytime you hear yourself saying you want to do or experience something BUT

you’re AFRAID

you’re TOO BUSY

you CAN’T AFFORD IT

you feel OVERWHELMED and don’t know what to do first

You might hear your Great Big But say that you feel like you’re in a good place right now, OR you don’t know how it will work out, OR you don’t think you can, OR you don’t have the help, OR you think it was all just a coincidence, OR you don’t feel worthy, OR you keep getting in your own way, & one of the most dangerous Sir Mix-a-Lot remixes of all time

I will do it, BUT NOT RIGHT NOW.

This week, I’m challenging you to reduce the Great Big But Print that you’ve put on your purpose. Pay close attention to how you swing that big but of yours around this week. Allow your but to act just like a Danger Wide Load sign hanging off the back of a flatbed trailer – your but is telling you something important.

When you don’t pay attention to where you swing that big but, you might just be unintentionally bumping the people and things that have been placed in your life at this moment to guide you to the next level.

What are you saying no to because you’re making your but look so much bigger than it really is?

How are you hiding out of fear that someone will notice and judge you because of your big but?

What if you’re but really isn’t as big as it looks?

How often can you hear and challenge your own but?

If you or someone you know wants to know exactly how to shake and move your Great Big But, get up off that thang and dial till you feel better 703.405.2029.

Have you ever noticed how the positive energy of one person can shift the mood in the entire room? You know the people you just want to be around. Maybe it’s the one you love or your really funny coworker. You have felt your own energy (mood) lift just being in their presence. We are all made up of energy that attracts and repels people and things into our life. It’s a cycle of positive cause and effect. What are you attracting and repelling?

Ideally, it works with your Soul Power Life Area of PERSONAL GROWTH this way:

If you really want to do something in any of your life areas but you’re frustrated because you just don’t know why you are not doing it already,

If you’ve been working so hard to reach a purposeful goal but you know you keep getting in your own way,

If you started out with loads of enthusiasm for that fantastic idea and now you wonder how it was replaced with overwhelm,

If you find yourself saying that you “Should” or “Could” or “Would” be doing “ABC” if only “XYZ” wasn’t so

It is very likely that you have underlying beliefs that are directly blocking your intended results like an All-Pro NFL Linebacker. These beliefs are the unwritten rules or programming code to your game plan. I hope this begins to make sense when you know that about

95% of Your Thoughts Are Coming From the Underlying Beliefs that You Hold in Your Subconscious Mind

No wonder, like Tevin Campbell sings “We go round and round and round And what we’re looking for, still isn’t found”

Unfortunately, those beliefs will continue to directly conflict with what you really want and block you from your intended results until you rewrite your rules by creating a new game plan that your subconscious linebacker will understand.

Just trying harder or getting more motivated or being extra positive isn’t going to resolve that conflicting belief. Pep talks, platitudes, organization and discipline will do very little to help you here. It’s just trashtalk and you’re still gonna get blocked.

So, what’s blocking your results?

I am challenging you to begin noticing how those underlying rules may not be serving your purpose and are blocking your results. Simply using tools like your life purpose, Soul Power Life Area Cards, and your own wisdom from Powerful Purposeful You, you can begin to pinpoint that negative energy and begin replacing the plays that are creating that unproductive cycle. Even the most stubborn and persistent rules can be rewritten when you target those underlying beliefs with the right energy shifting game plan.

This week, will you begin pay attention to where the productive or destructive beliefs are showing up in your life? I hope so!

Please let me know if you would like some help with this challenge. I want you to learn how to do amazing things with your purpose, wisdom and power!

This week, I’m in a real playful mood so let’s test your Soul Power Life Area SPIRITUAL with a game.

Here’s how you play:

I’m going to list several statements below. Read each statement out loud and with conviction.

Your spirit is going to show you which ones you believe to be true and which ones you actually do not believe.

Pay attention to which statements feel like a lie. You may even find your inner talk arguing with yourself. Any reaction aside from agreement is statement to think about. Ready?

I am more than enough

I am whole, perfect, and strong

I am so brillant

I am accomplished and successful

I am totally deserving

I am beautiful (handsome) and I love my body

I already have everything I need in my life

I am fully supported

I am incredibly wealthy

I have a responsibilty to myself and others to share my gifts

I am joyful beyond words

I pay attention to my intuition

I am loved for exactly who I am

I trust my own wisdom

What statements feel true? Which statements felt like a lie? Were there any statements that you had trouble even saying out loud? What did you inner talk say while you were going thorough this list? Did you notice any physical reactions to saying these statement? Which statements caught you by suprise as truth? Which ones were a breeze to believe? Which one really gave you the most trouble?

People who live consistenly within their Powerful Purposeful Self are on a path of completely accepting each of these statements as the absolute truth. How did you do? Is there room for improvement? Where could you be in the next 30 days? The next 6 months? The next 5 years?

How will you get better? If you really struggled with some of these statements, I invite you to come talk with me about what you can do about it. If you would like some help getting through this list with confidence and certainty, I have some tools that will help.
